ALBUM 1) Hotel california 2) New kid in town 3) Life in the fast lane 4) Wasted time 5) Wasted time reprise (N/A) 6) Victim of love 7) Pretty maids all in a row 8) Try and love again 9) The last resort Hotel California (There are so many attemps to this song out there. So Here's a correct one.) This first part is the intro. It is repeated throughout the song (except during the chorus). GUITAR 1 (12-string electric, capo on 7th fret) A 7 means open string, so it is easier to read. These are easier if you realize that the chords they outline are: Em B7 Dsus2 E9 C G Am7 B7

In all, Don Felder, Joe Walsh and Glenn Frey managed to fit eight different guitars in for this song. GUITAR 3 plays the cool "chicka" chords you hear during the verses. Listen closely and you can pick this part out. Use fret-hand muting on the following chords to get the percussive sound. In other words, don't push the strings down on the fretboard, just touch the strings so they can't vibrate much. In addition, palm-mute them to give a sharper sound. GUITAR 3 (slightly distorted electric, palm-muted) On a dark desert high-way cool wind in my hair

GUITARS 4 and 5 (distorted electrics) play chord tones in 3rds during the verses. GUITAR 4 plays upper voicing, GUITAR 5 plays the lower voicing. All the while, the 12-string continues playing the intro chords. There she stood... I heard the... And I was thinking..

Now, here's the reason for so many guitars. On the "So I called up the Captain" verse, GUITAR 4 & 5 repeat the part from the last verse, while GUITAR 7 & 8 (distorted electrics) introduce this "answer" harmony. The 12-string is (still) playing the verse chords. So I called up the Captain

The rest of the song repeats parts I've already tabbed. If you've got the tape or CD, I suggest you listen to it while looking at the tab to find these parts. Now the solos.

Wasted time Verse 1: C Fm6 Well, baby, there you stand C/G F G7 with your little head down in your hand. F Am7 Dm Am7 Oh my God, you can't believe it's happening again. F Am7 Dm F G7 Your baby's gone and you're all alone and it looks like the end. Verse 2: (repeat verse 1 chords above) And you're back out on the street and you're tryin' to remember. How do you start it over? You don't know if you can. You don't care much for a stranger's touch but you can't hold your man. Chorus: Am E/G# You never thought you'd be alone G D/F# this far down the line F Em and I know what's been on your mind, Dm F G7 C you're afraid it's all been wasted time. Bridge: Bm7 E7 Am The autumn leaves have got you thinking Bm7 E7 Am about the first time that you fell. Bm7 E7 Am C/G You didn't love the boy too much, no no, F C/G Fm6 F G G7 you just loved the boy too well____ er-well Verse 3: (same as verse 1) So you live from day to day and you dream about tomorrow, oh. And the hours go by like minutes and the shadows come to stay. So ya take a little something to make them go away. Chorus: (same as above chorus) And I could have done so many things, baby, if I could only stop my mind from wond'rin' what I left behind and from worryin' bout this wasted time. Ab C Ooh, another love has come and gone. Ab C Ooh, and the years keep rushing on. F Am7 Dm Am7 I remember what you told me before you went out on your own: F Am7 Dm G7 sometimes to keep it together we got to leave it alone. Chorus: (same as above) So you can get on with your search, baby, and I can get on with mine. And maybe someday we will find Dm F G7 C Am7 F C/G that it wasn't really wasted time. Ab C Am7 F C/G Ab Fm6 C
